MOA Great Hall Renewal project is coming together

Over the last 6 months, the Museum of Anthropology (MOA): Great Hall Renewal project team has been working on foundations, pre-cast and cast in place structures. Work is also under way in other areas of the museum for skylight replacement. Once the structure has been completed, skylights and vertical glazing will be ready for installation to enclose the renewed Great Hall.

MOA has important heritage value for UBC. The Great Hall seismic upgrades therefore involve a sensitive approach, following conservation principles that address both the heritage values and character-defining elements of the site and the building. Feedback from the Arthur Erickson Foundation has informed the architectural and construction approach to the project, ensuring the Great Hall will retain the appearance of the original space to preserve its architectural character and heritage values. Likewise, the Musqueam Indian Band has participated in planning meetings.

Take a look at the progress to date of  MOA’s Great Hall renewal:
